The Lincoln Highway Arts Festival has been held annually for the last 19 years.

Artists & Artisans

The Lincoln Highway Arts Festival has been a staple in Mount Vernon for over 15 years. Our artists have a little something for everyone at every price point, from up and coming artists to highly collectable museum quality pieces. We seek to strike a healthy balance between mediums, levels and price points. Applications are now open!

Community

The whole community of Mount Vernon looks forward to the Festival. With the Festival site located in the Main Street district, many of the shops get in on the fun and host art themed pop-up events and sales throughout the Festival. The Festival will also include demonstrations, kid’s activities, music, food.

Performances

What is an outdoor Festival without music? Mount Vernon is fortunate to have a thriving pool of musicians and performers who grace the Festival with their presence, keeping the energy high and crowds entertained. We have featured dynamic performances from The Better Haves, The Laid Back Band and Dance Arts Iowa.
